Wax may expose skiers to harmful 'forever chemicals'

Just a quick comment..............I'm amazed at how the wax has held up here out west on natural snow. Our main pairs have about 20 days on them, and while it's about time to wax them, I see no base burn. At Bristol especially on this years man made snow, I usually wax them about every 3-4 days and touch up the edges with diamond stones at the same time.

Every year I tune all our skis. Usually early on to feed the stoke. I scored a whole collection of tuning tools at an estate sale a few years back. It came with a cd and a book called "Tip to Tail". There's shit in this toolbox that I don't even know what it does.

Looks like that person knew what they were doing. What is it that you don't know what it does?

I'll take a picture tomorrow. There's this small salt looking wax bottle and some metal angles, also some kind of little stand thingys. This guy definitely knew what he was doing. I still have a few skis that came with all this. They were smooth, clean, and sharp. Just way better than how I do it.

I think it was $300 for 13 pairs of skis, a Thule roof rack, some boots, poles, and that whole kit with twice as much wax. All the skis where recently tuned. Mostly Racetigers and a nice pair of Supersport All Stars. Some of them were old like for decorations or ski chair type things.
I actually sold a pair with boots in the driveway of the house.

Artech (logo on the brush) was a ski race supply shop that closed last year ( roughly) after 34 years in business. That is a box of somebody who raced.
